N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

An interesting sheet. Both Watkins (Ross-on-Wye) and Boswell (Oxford) were friends of Rev Augustin Ley who may have communicated the specimens to Wood.
